Blink Charging has entered into a strategic partnership with eMobility interoperable charging solutions provider Hubject.
The agreement will add Blink as a charge point operator (CPO) within Hubject’s intercharge eRoaming platform, increasing charging network options for eMobility Service Providers (eMSPs) and their clients throughout Canada, Mexico, and the US.

The alliance is poised to bolster Hubject’s presence in the North American market.
Once integration is complete, Hubject’s network of eMSPs and CPO partners will receive access to the charging infrastructure of Blink, potentially leading to rise in the usage of Blink’s stations by customers who are part of Hubject’s platform.
The integration process will employ industry-standard protocols, such as Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI), to guarantee secure communication between Blink’s charging stations and Hubject’s eMSP partners.
The partnership will also facilitate standardised billing and settlement processes through the implementation of Hubject’s OCPI protocol, offering advantages to both eMSPs and Blink as the new CPO partner.
